I'm excited to announce the official release of A Necessary Explosion: Collected Poems, available at www.danburnsauthor.com and wherever books are sold.

I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to the following individuals who were instrumental in producing this book: manager extraordinaire Lorraine Diaz, the staff at Chicago Arts Press, interior book designer Salvatore Marchetti, illustrator Daniele Serra, and editor Rachel Small.

I hope you will allow yourself the opportunity to experience the magic of poetry, and I thank you for your support! Enjoy!

"Each of the seventy-five poems in this collection offers a glimpse into the mind of a hopeful poet and storyteller. They will make you consider your place in the world and leave you contemplating the magic of poetry."
